GovernanceFri, 13 Sep 2019 21:22:40 +0000jcolasanti44488 at https://www.fhsaa.orgImportant Information on Students Displaced as a result of Hurricane Dorianhttps://www.fhsaa.org/news/2019/0910
<p><strong>Gainesville, FL. (September 10, 2019</strong>) - The FHSAA office considers the destruction from Hurricane Dorian to be an event that was beyond the control of the student and his/her parent or guardian. Subsequently, the FHSAA is granting a provisional undue hardship eligibility waiver to all students displaced from the Bahamas as a direct result of Hurricane Dorian.</p>
<p><span class="red"><strong>The displaced student is permitted to represent your school in interscholastic competition once the student: </strong></span></p>
<ol>
<li><span class="red"><strong>is enrolled in your school; </strong></span></li>
<li><span class="red"><strong>has undergone a &ldquo;Preparticipation Physical Evaluation&rdquo; (EL2) conducted by a qualified practitioner in the state of Florida; </strong></span></li>
<li><span class="red"><strong>has submitted a signed &ldquo;Consent and Release from Liability Certificate&rdquo; (EL3); </strong></span></li>
<li><span class="red"><strong>has submitted a signed &ldquo;Affidavit of Compliance with FHSAA Policy on Athletic Recruiting&rdquo; (GA4); and </strong></span></li>
<li><span class="red"><strong>has reviewed the required NFHS Learn courses for participation.&nbsp; </strong></span></li>
</ol>
<p><em>Please note, the procedures for Exertional Heat Illness, outlined in FHSAA Policy 41.5, must be followed.</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Q:</strong> <strong>The displaced student did not relocate to Florida with his/her parents or guardians, but rather has been sent here to live with other relatives or family friends.&nbsp; Who is permitted to sign the EL2, EL3 and GA4?</strong></p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> The individual with whom the displaced student is now living, acting in loco parentis, may sign the paperwork required for participation.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Q: The displaced student was already practicing at his/her previous school before Hurricane Dorian.&nbsp; Does he/she still need to undergo the heat acclimatization period outlined in FHSAA Policy 41.5?</strong></p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> Yes, the acclimatization period is mandatory. The school must be able to verify that the student-athlete is properly conditioned to participate in the sport. The health and safety of the student-athlete must come first.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span class="red"><strong>You must make your best effort to determine the eligibility of the displaced student with regards to academic eligibility, limit of eligibility and age.&nbsp; If the student cannot provide a transcript and/or proof of age, you should attempt to contact the Bahamas School Athletic Alliance (BSAA) and ask them if the student was eligible to participate in the Bahamas.</strong> <strong>The student will be considered eligible for the first semester of the 2019-20 school year, if the student was eligible in accordance with the BSAA policies.&nbsp; Beginning with the second semester, however, the student&rsquo;s academic eligibility will be determined by FHSAA bylaws and policies in accordance with Florida statutes.</strong></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Q: Must we hold the displaced student out of competition until we get confirmation of his/her eligibility from the BSAA Office?</strong></p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> No, you may allow the displaced student to participate in competition once the student has enrolled, completed the necessary paperwork and viewed the required NFHS Learn courses. It may take time to get confirmation of the student&rsquo;s eligibility from the BSAA. Their staff is overwhelmed dealing with their own hurricane-related matters. If the BSAA Office responds that the student is ineligible in accordance with their rules, remove the student from competition and contact the FHSAA Office immediately. Your school will be held harmless.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Q: The displaced student&rsquo;s previous school does not require a cumulative 2.0 grade point average for academic eligibility.&nbsp; If the displaced student was academically eligible at his/her previous school, is he/she eligible in Florida?&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> If the displaced student was academically eligible in the Bahamas, they will be academically eligible in Florida for the remainder of the first semester. If you can obtain the displaced student&rsquo;s official transcript, you must determine academic eligibility in accordance with Florida statutes.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Q: There&rsquo;s a possibility we won&rsquo;t receive an official transcript for the displaced student before the second semester begins. How do we determine academic eligibility for the second semester?</strong></p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> Beginning with the second semester, the displaced student must abide by Florida&rsquo;s 2.0 GPA standard for academic eligibility. If you receive the displaced student&rsquo;s official transcript from his/her previous school, calculate the cumulative GPA as you would any other student relocating to your school. If you do not receive the official transcript, the student&rsquo;s GPA will be based solely on his/her first semester grades at your school.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Q: The student is unable to provide Proof of Age (birth certificate, visa, passport, etc.). How do we verify the student&rsquo;s age?</strong></p>
<p><strong>A: </strong>An affidavit of age sworn by the parent and/or legal guardian, accompanied by a certificate of age signed by a public health officer or by a public-school physician, must be on file with the EL2, EL3 and GA4. If these are not available in your county or to the member school, the certificate of age must be signed by a licensed physician designated by the school district board or the school&rsquo;s governing body (in the case of non-public schools), which states that the health officer or licensed physician has examined the student and believes the age, as stated on the affidavit, is substantially correct. Displaced students shall be permitted to use this form of age verification for a period of thirty (30) days.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span class="red"><strong>FHSAA residence and transfer rules are waived one time for the benefit of each displaced student.&nbsp; That means the student is considered eligible with regards to residence and transfer in the first Florida school that he/she enrolls.&nbsp; If the student, after enrolling in one Florida school, transfers attendance to another Florida school during the 2019-20 school year, he/she will be subject to the provisions of all rules relating to transfer students.</strong></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Q: The displaced student began participation in the sport(s) at his/her previous school. Does the student need to meet the provisions of FHSAA Bylaw 9.3.2.2?</strong></p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> No, the student is eligible to participate in any fall sport, regardless of prior participation.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Q: The displaced student is not living with his/her legal guardian. He/she has been sent to our community to live with relatives or friends. Does this impact his/her eligibility to participate?</strong></p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> Possibly. In accordance with FHSAA Policy 37.2.2.7, students participating in interscholastic contests may not reside with a representative of the school&rsquo;s athletic interests as defined in FHSAA Bylaw 1.4.18. If a displaced student is residing with a representative, and their legal guardian is not in the home, the student may request a waiver through the FHSAA Due Process procedures.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Q: Must the displaced student wait until the sixth day of attendance (Bylaw 9.3.3) to participate in an interscholastic contest?</strong></p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> No, provided the student has met the heat acclimatization procedures for the sport.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span class="red"><strong>Member schools must complete an EL10, &ldquo;Request for Eligibility Ruling&rdquo; on Home Campus for each displaced student. In the &ldquo;Statements of Fact&rdquo; area, please include an itemized list of information you have collected regarding the student&rsquo;s eligibility to participate. It is not necessary that you await a response from the FHSAA office before permitting the student to participate.</strong></span></p>

Remember, this is not just a football issue.&nbsp; Anyone participating in the heat is vulnerable to heat illness, including participants in activities such as marching band and even volleyball players practicing in a hot gym.&nbsp; It is crucial that the heat&nbsp;acclimatization&nbsp;guidelines are strictly followed as published, and extra vigilance is placed on the first 3-4 days of the two week acclimatization period.&nbsp; This is the time when our young athletes are most vulnerable to the heat.&nbsp; Please help protect these students from a potentially deadly condition.</p>

<p class="node-title" style="margin-top:0px; margin-right:0px; margin-left:0px; padding:0px"><span>Wayne Story, a legendary coach and administrator who in 2002 was inducted in the Florida High School Athletic Hall of Fame, passed away on Tuesday, June 11, 2019. He was 82.</span></p>
<div class="content">
<p style="margin-top:0px; margin-right:0px; margin-left:0px; padding:0px">He was preceded in death by his father, Thomas O. Story, mother, Irene Story, sister, Kathleen Letourneau, and grandson, Parker Wayne Williams. He is survived by the love of his life (60 years), Mary, his daughter Christi Williams (Kevin), granddaughters Brigette Coleman (Dale), Lyndsee Williams, and great-grandson Graesyn Coleman.&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin-top:0px; margin-right:0px; margin-left:0px; padding:0px">Story graduated from the University of Tampa in 1959 and began his athletic career at Eastbay High School. After moving to Miami-Dade County, he accepted a job at Miami Beach Senior High coaching football and wrestling, as well as teaching English. Throughout the next 21 years (1970-1991), he continued his coaching and teaching career at Miami Springs High School where he then became the athletic business manager/athletic director. He was a member of the Greater Miami Athletic Conference for 32 years. He would retire in charge of all athletics as Miami-Dade County Athletic Director in 2002.&nbsp;<span>A true role model for all athletic administrators, he served as the chairman of the committee charged with the responsibility to write the Miami-Dade County Athletic Manual, as he endeavored to create a level playing field for all athletes by applying the rules fairly and consistently.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p style="margin-top:0px; margin-right:0px; margin-left:0px; padding:0px"><span>Known as a &ldquo;Founding Father&rdquo; of the FIAAA, his contributions helped create the birth of the FIAAA in 1977. He served numerous roles during the course of his career including the Board of Directors (1977-1984), chairing the FIAAA State Conference in 1983, and serving as the organization&rsquo;s president in 1984. He was named the District 15 Athletic Administrator of the Year in 1987, and the FIAAA State Athletic Administrator of the Year in 1996. He received the 30 Year Achievement Award in 2000, and was selected as a Life Time Member of the FIAAA 2001. The following year he was inducted into the FHSAA Hall of Fame and in 2016 was inducted into the FIAAA Hall of Fame. On the National level, he served on the president&rsquo;s council as a moderator and Florida delegate to the NIAAA. He was a member of the NIAAA Awards Committee, and would be awarded the NIAAA Distinguished Service Award in 1987. </span></p>

<h4><strong><u>FAQ FOR BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL (Classes 2A-7A Only)</u></strong></h4>
<p><strong>How do I make the playoffs?</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Play your District Tournament (Seeding determined by using end of the current season MaxPreps Rankings)</li>
<li>The four district champions in each region automatically qualify for playoffs (Seeded 1-4 by MaxPreps Rankings)</li>
<li>Teams 5-8 receive at-large bids via MaxPreps Rankings</li>
<li>Higher Seed Hosts - Regional Tournament seeding determined by using MaxPreps rankings inclusive of regular season and district tournament</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Am I required to schedule teams in my district?</strong></p>
<p>NO. You are not required to play regular season district games.</p>
<p><strong>Am I required to play regular-season district games in order to qualify for the district tournament?</strong></p>
<p>NO. Regular season district games are not required in order to participate in the district tournament. Teams have the freedom to schedule whoever they want in the regular season.</p>
<p><strong>Does this new system encourage member schools to run up the score?</strong></p>
<p>NO. According to the MaxPreps representative who spoke to the FHSAA Board of Directors last year, there is no incentive to run up the score when it comes to MaxPreps rankings.</p>
<p><strong>Could a district champion have to travel to a higher-seeded district runner-up?</strong></p>
<p>NO. The district champions automatically qualify for playoff seeds 1-4. After the district champions are seeded 1-4 via MaxPreps rankings, four at-large teams then qualify for seeds 5-8 via their MaxPreps rankings. The higher seed ALWAYS hosts.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Will all teams be required to report their scores on MaxPreps?</strong></p>
<p>YES. Scores are required to be inputted in MaxPreps. Member schools who do not input their scores in the regular season will be fined.</p>
<p><strong>Will schools be required to enter stats into MaxPreps with this new system?</strong></p>
<p>NO. Only schools advancing to the Florida High School State Championships will be required to have updated stats on MaxPreps. Member schools who do not input update their stats, rosters and scores in the State Series will be fined $100 per round.</p>

<h4><strong><u>FAQ FOR ALL SPORTS</u></strong></h4>
<div><strong><span>How were the classifications, regions and districts determined?</span></strong></div>
<p style="margin-top:0px; margin-right:0px; margin-left:0px; padding:0px">Classifications were based solely on student enrollment, then geography. Please refer to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.fhsaa.org/sites/default/files/attachments/2010/09/16/node-235/1819_handbook_policies.pdf">FHSAA Policy 12</a>.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0px; margin-right:0px; margin-left:0px; padding:0px"><strong>What did the FHSAA use to determine a school&rsquo;s enrollment?</strong></p>
<p style="margin-top:0px; margin-right:0px; margin-left:0px; padding:0px">As required annually, each member school submitted their enrollment numbers to our office in October.<br />
<br />
<strong>Can a school appeal its placement if they wish to move up or down?</strong></p>
<p style="margin-top:0px; margin-right:0px; margin-left:0px; padding:0px">After traveling the state this past year, the consensus the FHSAA heard from its athletic directors and coaches was that they wanted an equal number of teams by classification, an even number of teams in each district and region and no three-team districts. Moving schools would go against that sentiment and would create uneven classifications, regions or districts. The staff has thoroughly reviewed the assignments and do not see any schools that are geographically isolated that would require movement to another classification (<a href="https://www.fhsaa.org/sites/default/files/attachments/2010/09/16/node-235/1819_handbook_policies.pdf">FHSAA Policy 12</a>). To maintain the wishes of our constituents,&nbsp;<strong><u>the FHSAA&nbsp;will not be accepting appeals.</u></strong></p>
<p style="margin-top:0px; margin-right:0px; margin-left:0px; padding:0px"><strong>If a school does not like where it is placed, what are the options?</strong></p>
<p style="margin-top:0px; margin-right:0px; margin-left:0px; padding:0px">The member school can become independent for the two-year classification cycle. Please refer to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.fhsaa.org/sites/default/files/attachments/2010/09/16/node-235/1819_handbook_policies.pdf">FHSAA Policy 10.1.3</a>.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0px; margin-right:0px; margin-left:0px; padding:0px"><strong>When does this classification cycle end?</strong></p>
<p style="margin-top:0px; margin-right:0px; margin-left:0px; padding:0px">The new classification cycle for all sports ends following the conclusion of the 2020-21 FHSAA season. Following the conclusion of the two-year cycle, the FHSAA will review classifications again using our FHSAA Board of Directors and Athletic Directors Advisory Committee-approved policies and procedures.</p>

<p><strong>GAINESVILLE, Fla. &ndash;&nbsp;</strong>As the 2018-2019 school year comes to a close, so does another exceptional year of FHSAA competition. The level of talent seen during the Fall, Winter, and Spring seasons made the race for the 2018-19 FHSAA Floyd E. Lay Sunshine Cup All-Sports Awards a tight one, but the results are in.</p>
<p>A state championship in girls&rsquo; volleyball helped Oviedo take the title in Class 9A with a score of 138.8.</p>
<p>Several State Series appearances by St. Thomas Aquinas gave the school a leg up on its competition in Class 8A. The Raiders took first place with a score of 205.5.</p>
<p>South Florida remained dominant through the 7A and 6A classes as well. Doral Academy (Miami) beat out Sunlake (Land O&rsquo; Lakes) for 7A with a score of 115.8, while American Heritage (Plantation) continued its win streak by taking its eighth title in a row (143.5) for 6A.</p>

Their neighbors, Providence (Jacksonville), edged out Lakeland Christian with a score of 88.5 to take the 4A/3A Private overall title.</p>
<p>The 4A/3A/2A Public overall title remains in North Florida. P.K. Yonge beat out the competition in all 3 categories (boys, girls, &amp; overall) to stay on top with a score of 51.0.</p>
<p>With back to back State Championships in baseball comes back to back All-Sports Award wins. Miami Christian continues its reign as the 2A Private overall champion (55.0).</p>
<p>Class 1A was the closest race of the year, with only two points deciding the winner. Trenton (63.8) hung on by a thread to beat out Madison County for the title.</p>
<p><em>For the 2018-19 school year, the 705 member senior high schools have been divided into nine classifications for administrative purposes based on the enrollments submitted to the FHSAA Office in October 2014, which were used to discern the classifications as they are drawn up now (as per basketball). </em></p>
<p><em>In accordance with a Board mandate at its November 2002 meeting and a restructuring prior to the 2011-12 school year with the addition of the rural classification, Classes 2A-5A are further subdivided into public and private categories. Due to a lack of eligible schools for this year, classes 2A-4A Public and classes 3A &amp; 4A private schools were each combined into one category. An All Sports award will be presented for each of these 10 categories in overall, girls and boys divisions at the conclusion of the 2018-19 school year.</em></p>
<p><em>Points are awarded to a school based on its finish in FHSAA State Series competition in each sport in the classification in which it has been assigned to compete. The top 16 places are scored. In all sports with team scores, points are awarded as follows: 20 for the state champion, 12 for the state runner-up, 9 for the state semifinalists, 6 for 5-8th places, and 3 for 9-16th places.&nbsp;In sports where 16 or less schools qualify for the state tournament bracket, points will only be awarded to the 1st through 8th place finishers using the same scoring system.&nbsp;</em></p>
<p><em>Schools get a 2-point bonus for winning a district or regional championship, and points are deducted for unsporting conduct: 0.25 points for Level 1 student-athlete ejection/unsporting conduct incident; 0.5 for Level 2 student-athlete ejection/unsporting conduct incident; 1.0 for Level 3 student-athlete ejection/unsporting conduct incident; 2.5 for Level 4 student-athlete ejection/unsporting conduct incident; 1.0 for Level 1 coach ejection/unsporting conduct incident, plus addition 0.5 points deducted for each $50 amount above initial fine; 1.5 for Level 2 coach ejection/unsporting conduct incident, plus addition 0.5 points deducted for each $50 amount above initial fine; 2.0 for Level 3 coach ejection/unsporting conduct incident, plus addition 0.5 points deducted for each $50 amount above initial fine; and approximately 3.0-5.0 additional points deducted for a school or team-based violation (e.g., bench-clearing brawl, coach takes team off the field, etc.). </em></p>
<p><em>In the event of a tie for the award in either the overall, girls or boys divisions at the end of the school year, the following tiebreakers will be used: (1) number of state team championships won; (2) number of state team runners-up finishes; (3) number of regional team championships won; (4) number of regional team runners-up finishes; (5) number of district team championships won; and (6) number of district team runners-up finishes.</em></p>

<p>NO. Regular season district games are not required in order to participate in the district tournament. Teams have the freedom to schedule whoever they want in the regular season.</p>
<p><strong>Does this new system encourage member schools to run up the score?</strong></p>
<p>NO. According to the MaxPreps representative who spoke to the FHSAA Board of Directors last year, there is no incentive to run up the score when it comes to MaxPreps rankings.</p>
<p><strong>Could a district champion have to travel to a higher-seeded district runner-up?</strong></p>
<p>NO. The district champions automatically qualify for playoff seeds 1-4. After the district champions are seeded 1-4 via MaxPreps rankings, four at-large teams then qualify for seeds 5-8 via their MaxPreps rankings. The higher seed ALWAYS hosts.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Will all teams be required to report their scores on MaxPreps?</strong></p>
<p>YES. Scores are required to be inputted in MaxPreps. Member schools who do not input their scores in the regular season will be fined.</p>
<p><strong>Will schools be required to enter stats into MaxPreps with this new system?</strong></p>
<p>NO. Only schools advancing to the Florida High School State Championships will be required to have updated stats on MaxPreps. Member schools who do not input update their stats, rosters and scores in the State Series will be fined $100 per round.</p>

<h4><strong><u>FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS</u></strong></h4>
<p style="margin-top:0px; margin-right:0px; margin-left:0px; padding:0px">Q: How were the classifications, regions and districts determined?<br />
A: Classifications were based solely on student enrollment, then geography. Please refer to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.fhsaa.org/sites/default/files/attachments/2010/09/16/node-235/1819_handbook_policies.pdf">FHSAA Policy 12</a>.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0px; margin-right:0px; margin-left:0px; padding:0px">Q: What did the FHSAA use to determine a school&rsquo;s enrollment?<br />
A: As required annually, each member school submitted their enrollment numbers to our office in October.<br />
<br />
Q:&nbsp;Can a school appeal its placement if they wish to move up or down?<br />
A: After traveling the state this past year, the consensus the FHSAA heard from its athletic directors and coaches was that they wanted an equal number of teams by classification, an even number of teams in each district and region and no three-team districts. Moving schools would go against that sentiment and would create uneven classifications, regions or districts. The staff has thoroughly reviewed the assignments and do not see any schools that are geographically isolated that would require movement to another classification (<a href="https://www.fhsaa.org/sites/default/files/attachments/2010/09/16/node-235/1819_handbook_policies.pdf">FHSAA Policy 12</a>). To maintain the wishes of our constituents,&nbsp;<strong><u>the FHSAA&nbsp;will not be accepting appeals.</u></strong></p>
<p style="margin-top:0px; margin-right:0px; margin-left:0px; padding:0px">Q: If a school does not like where it is placed, what are the options?<br />
A: The member school can become independent for the two-year classification cycle. Please refer to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.fhsaa.org/sites/default/files/attachments/2010/09/16/node-235/1819_handbook_policies.pdf">FHSAA Policy 10.1.3</a>.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0px; margin-right:0px; margin-left:0px; padding:0px">Q: When can we expect the spring sports to be released?<br />
A: May/June 2019 (<strong>NOTE:&nbsp; Releases for a given sport will occur after that sport season has fully concluded</strong>)</p>
<p style="margin-top:0px; margin-right:0px; margin-left:0px; padding:0px">Q: When does this classification cycle end?<br />
A: The new classification cycle ends following the conclusion of the 2020-21 FHSAA season. Following the conclusion of the two-year cycle, the FHSAA will review classifications again using our FHSAA Board of Directors and Athletic Directors Advisory Committee-approved policies and procedures.</p>

<div>The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) recently developed criteria for State Associations to host a boys&rsquo; basketball player evaluation and recruiting event (June Event).</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Unfortunately, the required criteria for the June Event excludes an option for girls to participate and excludes student-athletes who do not attend a Florida High School Athletic Association&nbsp;<span>(FHSAA) member school. Both exclusions are contrary to Florida State Law, Federal Court&nbsp;</span><span>decisions and the FHSAA&rsquo;s quest to provide equal, fair and equitable opportunities for all student-athletes alike.</span></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>In the best interest of all our Florida high school student-athletes, the FHSAA has made the&nbsp;<span>decision to not host nor coordinate an event. The FHSAA requested that the Florida Association of Basketball Coaches (FABC) be permitted to host the June Event for those wishing to&nbsp;</span><span>participate, but the request was denied by the NFHS.</span></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>In future years, it is the Association&rsquo;s hope the NCAA and NFHS will invite the FHSAA into its discussions to further develop the idea and extend the opportunity provided there is equality for all student-athletes wishing to participate.</div>

<p><strong>GAINESVILLE, FL.</strong><strong>&nbsp;&ndash;</strong><span>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaLgjvDiJEc">Lake Howell High School</a> was named the winner of the 2019 Sunshine State Spirit Showdown, the Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA) announced Tuesday.&nbsp;</span><span>The competition, which determines the best student section in the state, began in 2014 as a way of promoting sportsmanship and celebrating school spirit among FHSAA member schools.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span>After schools from around the state submitted videos highlighting their student sections, the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZjuFVQzKj_tY4NPCzqNKTARpn3rCj2aG">Silverhawks beat out seven other finalists</a> for the award. The <a href="https://www.fhsaa.org/gov/saac">FHSAA Student-Athlete Advisory Committee</a> scored the videos on the criteria of sportsmanship, participation, organization of students and spirit conveyed through the submissions. Fans also showed their support by voting for their favorite video via social media, which contributed to the overall scores.</span></p>
<p><span>&quot;After a very tough decision, we voted for Lake Howell High School due to their high energy and infectious attitude,&quot; FHSAA SAAC member Brooke Long said. &quot;Student sections often provide us with the highlights of our experiences as student-athletes, and our committee was able to relate to and appreciate the spontaneous details Lake Howell showcased in their video.&quot; </span></p>
<p><span>Later this year at an on-campus ceremony, the FHSAA will present Lake Howell with a&nbsp;</span><span>commemorative</span><span>&nbsp;plaque and a personalized banner to commemorate their victory.</span></p>

<h4>MEMO TO FHSAA ATHLETIC DIRECTORS</h4>
<p>This message is to clarify new NFHS Softball Rule 1-1-7 regarding media at softball. The rule states &ldquo;<a href="https://www.nfhs.org/sports-resource-content/softball-rules-changes-2019/">Media shall be prohibited from being in live-ball area.&nbsp;The home team or game management may designate an area for the media in dead-ball territory</a>.&rdquo;</p>
<p>The FHSAA would like to make it abundantly clear host school contest managers (Principal, AD, etc&hellip;) <strong><u>should</u></strong> create a media box in foul territory (past first and third base) using chalk or spray paint. PLEASE pass this memo on to your coaches and let them know by creating a media box in foul territory, that box immediately becomes a dead-ball territory whether it is occupied or not. This is no different than what FHSAA baseball contest managers have done for years and is exactly what the FHSAA does at the Florida High School Softball State Championships.</p>
<p>Media members are encouraged to reach out to host contest managers in advance to make plans.</p>
<p>This has been communicated to media members, softball coaches, umpire association presidents and umpire booking commissioners statewide.</p>
<p>Please help the media do their job and cover your schools to the best of their ability. It&rsquo;s a win-win situation for everyone involved.</p>
